It really depends on the company. Some DBA's are glorified sys admins, some are mostly db developers and there is everything in between. I do work that would be normal for a front end developer, I also sometimes have to go digging into the C+ guts MySQL and I also deal with lots non-technical issues. It really depends a lot on the company. -- Rob Wultsch wult...@gmail.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
